Florentin Ginot Interview and Performance - Extended Techniques & Contemporary Music

In this second interview with French contemporary musician, Florentin Ginot shares with us some of his favourite extended techniques on the double bass. Be prepared to hear some new and wacky sounds and learn how to truly listen to the possibilities of the bass with Florentin's mastery of the instrument. We also challenged Florentin to improvise in our most unusual recording location yet, a giant piece of machinery in an industrial cotton mill so be sure to watch his performance at the end of the video.
Big thanks to Florentin Ginot for sharing his artistry and to Bates Mill in Huddersfield for providing such a cool location!

Once again thank you Geoff for your open minded approach to this fantastic instrument. Florentin is so special, he shows us new paths we can walk on the double bass.

Thanks Simone! I really appreciate that :-)

[@merakhaazan_officiel8462]

He's incredible, his Bach performance of chaconne is just beyond all we heared before of Bach's transciptions on bass. Thanks for this video!!

[@DiscoverDoubleBass]

Couldn't agree more! Florentin Ginot is a blazing talent!

Living very close to Cologne, I hopefully will have a chance to go to one of Florentin Ginot's concerts. He brings up new sounds, sides, nuances and subtleties of the double bass that makes it so very exciting to listen. Also great again is Geoff Chalmers' interview. He is a great bass player too and as always, he is asking the right questions. In doing so, he is the kind of (gifted) dancer who will never step on his (interview) partner's toes. Very, very cool music, playing and interview!
